The Microsoft HoloLens 2 is a next-generation, augmented reality headset built for enterprise workers who use their hands and can't benefit from phones, tablets, or computers in the same way that other industries can. Microsoft is targeting corporations like auto shops or factory floors to re-imagine the work environment. | |||
The HoloLens 2 has both hand and eye tracking capabilities. Hand tracking includes simplified gestures compared to the original HoloLens thanks to 25 points of articulation on each hand. Eye tracking includes the ability to pinpoint something with your eyes and verablize commands for actions to take, like closing a browser. Eye tracking is new to the HoloLens line. With a camera, the device can also scan your retina to authenticate you into the platform. | |||

There are other noteable improvements to the HoloLens 2 compared to the HoloLens. Not only can can it map the space you are in (spatial mapping), but it can understand the objects around you, like knowing that is a couch or a desk (semantic understanding of space). One reviewer noted it was more comfortable and easier to gesture, as well. The HoloLens 2 comes with a larger field of vision, though it's still significantly limited. | |||

Azure Remote Rendering that lets the HoloLens offload some compute load to the cloud. It exists because the HoloLens 2 can only store and render a limited kind of detail for something like a 3D render of an engine locally. With Remote Rendering, some of the detail can come in real time from the cloud, so it displays potentially infinite levels of detail, allowing you to model and interact with the smallest parts of a holographic machine | |||
